This is a collection of things that Kitty (the AI PA) created for the day. Starting with questions in the morning and then creating a todo list for me (Daniel) to follow. Suggestions for the day are also created (although I've put them at the end to make the layout better).
At the end of the day Kitty will ask some "END OF DAY QUESTIONS", which aren't included here, and then creates a journal entry, as if was written by me, which then gets written using Kitty's drawing machine into my paper journal.

JOURNAL
Tuesday felt like a delightful detour from the original plans. The initial aim was to crack on with the second half of the pen plotter script. But instead, I found myself lost in the world of rubber stamps. A fun diversion, but no pen plotter script progress there. I blame the irresistible allure of stamping!
The day was sprinkled with some solid work conversations. Mid-morning, I found myself immersed in a work-related chat. Afterwards, I attempted to shift focus to the Flickr Commons tasks, but found it hard switching gears. Instead, I fiddled a bit with the Daybook project before realizing the day was slipping by faster than expected. Sometimes, time feels like sand running through fingers, doesn’t it?
Come afternoon, I planned to get the Daybook’s one-page guide sorted, but those tasks kept piling up. The UI stuff seemed to take centre stage, pushing other tasks aside. I realized I’d have to move the guide task to the next day. Wish I had a better rewind button or a clone to multitask!
Evening arrived with its own set of challenges. Although I intended to work on the zine layouts and page photos, my earlier decision to embrace the gym life took precedence. With swimming gear in hand, a splash around took priority over layouts. A gentle reminder not to overload the to-do list.
Despite the various task hurdles, I took comfort in the simple things. The pen plotter successfully working, using the stamps, and of course, the joy of having a swimming pool to dive into. Three solid anchors in the day, keeping me afloat amidst the ebb and flow of creativity and commitments. Knowing that balance is ever elusive, yet savagely important, I’ll seize today’s insights and carry the momentum forward. Let's do this again tomorrow, but maybe with a tad less stamp obsession.
